My dad being my dad, he often suggests that it’s time for me to start some sort of longer writing project. I tend to agree: of course, I blog here almost every day about whatever comes to mind, but blog entries are just short and swift. I want to start working on something more sustained as well. The problem is, coming up with ideas. It would need to be something that I could really get my teeth into.

I have been thinking about it for a while, and recently came upon an idea which would bring together two of my biggest interests. It’s only a rough idea, and could probably do with some refinement, but I am thinking of looking at the extent to which London is a cinematic city. Of course, the metropolis has appeared in countless films, and may well be one of the most photographed urban areas in the world; yet I want to look into how London is represented in film, and how that representation may differ from my experiences as a Londoner with a disability. Again, it’s only a hazy idea at the moment, and I’m not sure exactly how I’ll go about answering it, but at least it is something to keep me busy.
